Both are the same, technically [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1] is calling the setter method and self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = 1; is calling the setter using "dot syntax". Both have the same behavior.

As Apple's documentation says when using @property the getter and setter methods for that property are generated automatically (synthesized automatically).

Also is important to know that, as @Duncan C mentioned, you can bypass the setter by setting directly the iVar.
